First, a huge thank you to everyone who backed this campaign. I figured there would be a few people interested in my kids' creepy drawings, but I was planning on around 50 backers, not breaking 100! We are grateful!
Second, here's our winner for the final monster of the book:
This thing is gonna haunt my dreams.
I'll be working on coloring and statting this guy up this week!
And finally, where do we go from here? The zine is almost complete -- in addition to the monster above it needs a last editing pass, then I'll send out for a sample print copy to make sure everything looks as good on paper as it does on the screen.
This is my first campaign on BackerKit, so I need to get familiar with their survey and fulfillment systems. I don't anticipate that delaying my schedule. My hope is that surveys will go out by mid-September, with fulfillment complete by the end of the year.
You might be able to tell that there's some padding in there. Unexpected events do arise (I broke my arm immediately after funding my last campaign!), but if all goes smoothly there is a chance we can move up some of the timelines.
The results are in from the last poll and teleportation is the clear winner! Thanks to everyone who voted!
I also have some good news: layout on the zine is almost complete... and I have an extra page to work with! So I'm going to add a final monster to the book. Which of the following drawings would you like to see in your game?
One of my favorite drawings from the zine is this gangly humanoid with a gaping maw. Dubbed the loncrus, we decided it was a soul-sucking demon that targets the pious and pure. Clerics should be especially careful when it appears at night as it feasts on PCs' personality scores!
Next Monster Creation Poll
It was a close call, but our first monster creation poll has a clear winner with "tore through the veil of dreams." Thank you to everyone who voted!
This time 'round we're focusing on the creatures attacks. Feel free to elaborate on your choice in the comments. The top two results will win!
Hail, reavers! After two days the campaign is doing great. Thank you again for your early support!
As I mentioned in my last update, I've held off writing up one of the creatures for the zine so that you can have a hand in it! Here's the beast in question:
